,Chromosomal abnormalities
Placenta previa
Preeclampsia - ANS Chromosomal abnormalities
Chromosomal abnormalities are fetal conditions that categorize a pregnancy as high risk. These
include trisomy 21 and trisomy 18.
RATIONALE FOR INCORRECT:
Prenatal hyperglycemia
Prenatal hyperglycemia is a maternal condition that can cause adverse maternal/fetal outcomes
in pregnancy.
Placenta previa
Placenta previa is a high-risk condition but is considered maternal, not fetal.
Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a high-risk condition but is considered maternal, not fetal.
The nurse understands which statements to be true regarding preconception counseling?
Select all that apply.
Patients may not be aware of this type of visit.
It can reduce a patient's categorical risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Men and women should be involved in preconception care.
It is a form of preventative care.
It is designed for couples that are having trouble conceiving naturally. - ANS Patients may not
be aware of this type of visit.
Preconception counseling isn't something many patients are aware of. The nurse can encourage
these visits to all men and women of childbearing age.
It can reduce a patient's categorical risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes.

,Identifying modifiable risks before conception allows a couple time to reduce and/or eliminate
them to allow for a healthier pregnancy.
Men and women should be involved in preconception care.
Men and women are encouraged to participate in preconception counseling. Men can
contribute to pregnancy risk in many ways.
It is a form of preventative care.
Preventative care helps promote healthy outcomes and is a way to address risk before a
problem or adverse outcome arises.
RATIONALE FOR INCORRECT:
It is designed for couples that are having trouble conceiving naturally.
Preconception care is for all individuals who are thinking about conceiving.
Which types of assessments are examples of biophysical assessments for high-risk pregnancy?
Select all that apply.
Blood, body fluid, and tissue analysis
Amniocentesis
Maternal assay analysis
Ultrasonography
Fetal kick counts - ANS Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is a high-tech example of biophysical assessment.
Fetal kick counts
Fetal kick counts are a low-tech way for a patient to monitor fetal activity.

, RATIONALE FOR INCORRECT:
Blood, body fluid, and tissue analysis
Biochemical assessment, not biophysical assessment, uses blood, body fluid, and tissue analysis
to collect important information.
Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is an invasive procedure that analyzes amniotic fluid. It is a biochemical analysis.
Maternal assay analysis
Maternal assay analysis involves collecting a blood sample and is therefore a biochemical
analysis.
______is considered to be a perfect score on a biophysical profile assessment. - ANS 10/10
A biophysical profile is a biophysical assessment that consists of five assessments with two
points each; 10/10 is a perfect score.
Which components are included in the complete biophysical profile used to determine fetal
well-being in high-risk pregnancies?
Select all that apply.
Fetal head circumference
Fetal breathing movements
Fetal tone
Nonstress test
Amniotic fluid index - ANS Fetal breathing movements
Fetal breathing movements are assessed during the biophysical profile and are worth 2 points.
Fetal tone
